February 15, 2014 - This wine was top CDP 2011 in decanter jan 14 with 18.5/95 score. It changes continuously over an evening in a decanter, there's lots of savoury interest on the nose, tapenade, thyme, there's dark plum fruit with occasional hints if chocolate and liquorice in the background. The texture us smooth and mouthfilling and a great savoury finish with a little fine tannin giving it grip. It's still a bit tight to start, but it's drinking ok now, try again in a couple of years
